Mommies fun time w/o Going To New York's Fashion Week!!

My mommy friend, Sally and I took kids to Academy of Science Museum in SF today. She planned a vacation w/ family in Tahoe this whole week but the trip is canceled at the last min. :( A real bummer!!

Sally is a working mom. And you know, when you are in a "vacation mode", you never wanted to go back to work even you end of going nowhere!!! haha....

Sally and her pretty daughter.

So, as a stay-home mom, me, I always know where to enjoy a day out w/ kids when my working mommy friends are calling me!!! :)

Renee, just another fabulous mommy friend, who lives in the SF city. She just moved back here from New York and already eagerly going back to work again!! lol We met her at the dim sum restaurant this noon and talked about yet another bummer of knowing that we can't make it to this year's New York's fashion party on Sept. 10th , shopping till 11 PM, having block party on the street............ all sort of things..... *&%$#%^&%$#




Renee is a total New Yorker look today!!


Bag: Jane August


Boots: Marvell



Ok, again, we are moms!! No matter how much we are into "fashion", kids are still our first priority!!!!

Last year, my daughter wrote me a card w/ things she likes to do w/ me, here is one: I like going to SF city to shop w/ my mom!! Then my friend, Yu, saw the card and told me that I should ask my daughter change SF city to be "Great mall" or "Gilroy" or even "NM last-call" just so the teachers won't assume that I am a shop-all-the-time in all-the-fancy-department stores mom. hahaha....


After lunch, we arrived at the museum around 3 PM. Again, you don't need a whole day planned for kids. Just like us, having a nice lunch outside the museum, catching up w/ friends and back, kids will appreciate the quality time of 1 to 1 hr. half in the museum.

Hello, I just waked up from my little nap in the car.. :P







SO I still can't tell it is a male or female??!! A twig or a leaf.... maybe more like a twig then?


This is a Toad. But it really looks like a frog got smashed dead there. haha..




That's a dwarf cuttlefish!!




This is not a bench we are sitting on, it is in fact a see-saw.




Sally w/ her kids at the other side.

It was 6:30 PM when we arrived home. DH took Abby to her swimming class and I went to my routinely Power Yoga class. As for my son, Niel, he felt so left out today since he had to go to school. :P Ok, son, I will make it up to you in the future, mom promise!!!!

Tomorrow is another big day ahead!!! :)

Rachel - I was trying to find the Zara shirt dress that you mentioned but the layering has really gotten me slightly lost. :P But I still like the outfit regardless, esp now that the weather in SF city is cool enough for some fun tights.

Looks like you are having a wonderful time with the girls these days, both mommies and your daughters. I had to chuckle at Abby's statement on enjoying her time with mommy. She's getting her training young and I have no doubt she will have a really solid sense of individual style when she gets older.

When's Izy coming to town? I might miss her now since DH and I are taking off on our trip tomorrow. Oh well, we'll have to meet next time she is in town.
Hi,Betsy:
too bad, Isabel won't be here until next Mon. for a whole week. .... yet another of another bummer!! haha..

You guys have fun and make sure you check out Hermes' boutique if you can....better yet, score one Birkin back then. haha...

You know, I start thinking that our SAs in Hermes' in SF city are really working hard for their commission...... Isabel didn't get anything thing major before she scores 2 Birkins for her relatives the past 2 or 3 month while Yu told me that we have to build a "relationship" w/ a SA to get her to keep eyes on the Birkin we want...well......... well...well....

Oh, Isabel likes my Chloe sunglasses so we might end off having the same one ...then we will be sunglasses quadruple including Cathy and Yu. hahahaha...
OH, Betsy: I mean she likes the one I lost and I told her if she really is going to buy it.....buy 2 then. I want it BACK!!! :) It is cheaper buying online and we can save 1 shipping. :)

i just took my daughter to the academy on monday! that place is really fun. I love your bag, it goes with a lot of your outfits, who would of thought orange can be so versatile? It seems really easy to score birkins in SF these days. the past few times I went they always have a few in stock. I am waiting for a red one in 30cm :)
Hi Rachel!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I can't help noticing.....does Abby like polka dots very much? Love her look! So Japaneses...hehehe! Kawaii neh! And Ilona is getting prettier each day...so cute and chubby, love her sparkling eyes... :D And I love Abby's owl shirt! You know how much I like owls!! Hehehehe! I have a similar sequined one from Mango which I'm going to post on my reveal thread tomorrow. :D

Oh...so you're going to buy-back your Chloe sunnies? Did you try on the BVs? Anyway, Chloe sunnies are nice so get them while you still can.

Cheers,
Mia

Hi
Thanks for your advice on the chanel swimsuit. Keeping my fingers crossed I will find one. You look great as usual. Love reading your blog....keep it going...

Love from Sunny Singapore !
Hi, dos: really? Is it easier now? You know, I think it has been at least 5 mon. since the last time I visited Hermes since I don't want cost an arm and a leg to build up a relationship first then to get a Birkin. It really is not economical...but it is really a great news that you said they always have some stocks!! :) hum...I guess I might get a Birkin by the end of this year. ..haha..

Hi Rachel,

I love your American Apparel pink swirl blue hosiery . It is so cute and i really want one like that. :)

Your friend Sally and her daughter looks so much alike. Her daughter is so beautiful. She has beautiful eyes and smile just like her mother. :)

Look like you guys had so much fun. I've been to SF 3 times but never get the chance to visit the zoo. It is hard since i'm not familiar with the place.

You're looking great as always and I just don't know how you did it with 3 kids. :)

Take care Rachel.
Hi, Mia:

how are you? I thought you are in Pairs already.....

Abby really loves polka dots and she always pick up clothes/things w/ polka dots design.... I told her that I bought her other clothes that she needs to rotate wearing them...well....oh, well...

yeh, I am thinking of that since Isabel tried that and she likes the lightweight of that sunglasses too. I don't have time to try out anything yet since I have acting class on Sat. and I always drive right back after class cause' I think DH is great already for taking care of kids all alone on Sat. morning till 3 or 4 PM. I think I might want to take a week day to drive to SF city next week just to try out new stuff then. :)
Hi, Sweetberry:
Sure, you are welcome. I hope you do get your sexy Chanel swimming suit soon. I never thought of getting one from Chanel...hum.......... hum..... haha...

YOu know, I think I am really enjoy posting everything about me, my friends, kids....it is not just fun but also an encouragement to myself and even virtual friends like you!!! :) (Well, although sometimes my friends would not want to be IN MY BLOG but well, I told them I always post the prettiest shot of them so they are willing to let me take pic. w/o faces. hahah....)

Oh, that just remind me that I found that I like shooting the camera for my classmate in my acting class. I think I know how to set the ankle/lights and find the best feature out of people. :) OH, I can be a camera man!! :P
Hi, Kristy:
Thanks, girl. You know, I am thinking of getting a matching black Batucada necklace for the black bracelet I kept...just so I have the whole look. haha...
I don't think I need to tell my friends about comments you made here. They all read my blog routinely too. haha...

Oh, the hosiery, I think you can find that in AA store and it is really interesting one. I got compliment from that almost every time I wore. :)

Kristy, you should visit SF during summer when we have all the activities going on there.... even the zoo has more animals or creatures during summer..haha... Oh, the science museum is really something, I always find new creatures every time we visit. Well...but if you are not really into those creatures, it would be a little boring...I know I don't really like it before I am married w/ kids. hahah...

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
